Q: Trouble maintaining erection during sex
asked by: raptors4 on October 13th, 2008

So I'm 19 years old and I was a virgin until a few weeks ago when me and this girl I'm friends with randomly tried to sleep together. She's really experienced in the sex department, although she hasn't slept with anyone in a while, whereas I'm obviously not. We have a complicated relationship in the sense that we both really like each other, but for some reason she doesn't want to be with me (plus, aside from that, we're best friends). Anyways, so we started by making out, and than she guided my hand down toward her vagina and we had that whole thing going for a while. Than all of a sudden she asked if I wanted to have sex, and I said yes. I didn't have an erection after making out or touching her vagina, and she said this was really surprising. I had to masturbate myself to get one, and she couldn't give me one with a handjob. Anyways so once I had an erection, I put the condom on and she got on top of me, and after about a minute it went away. I couldn't really get it back and she just decided she was tired and went to bed. She said she felt it though. And it made me worry a lot but i figured it might just be a fluke. Anyways, so than today, about 2 weeks later, she wants to try having sex again. So of course I agree. So we drive to a backroad..and i've been waiting for this for 2 weeks. but the same thing happens again! when i take my pants off i dont have an erection and shes really surprised. so i eventually masturbate and get myself one again. She tried to give me an erection through a handjob and oral but it just didnt work, so i had to masturbate myself. So eventually i get it going again and after she gets on top of me and we're having sex, I lose it again...it really sucks, and i know shes probably thinking what the hell over there. I know she was really mad at me because i told her i couldnt feel anything...which is true..i couldnt really feel any sensation except when im doing it myself. I dont feel any sensation in my penis during sex, so im wondering what the heck is going on. Its like i cant just do it because im worried about it for some reason. anyways, I'm in decent shape, and I have no trouble masturbating at home when i'm alone..im just so worried that i wont be able to do it with her and she'll eventually want to stop trying..i like her a lot and i dont want to lose her..and she already wont be with me but at least shes trying to have sex with me..i probably masturbate about once a day. I think she's not too bad looking so thats not the issue. i really want to do this with her too. I don't know what the problem is. Im thinking it could be:
1) I'm really nervous...(i dont know how not to be?)
2) I'm just used to touching myself, and i like how that feels.. (so maybe thats why i dont feel a sensation here)
3) i dont even know? what the heck!

I'm thinking of possible solutions and I'll probably consult a doctor I'm so worried about it...i don't know I just need some help and advice on what to do. im soooooo worried about all of this. i need to finish with her. please help!

raptors4,

Okay, well first I agree that seeing your doctor is a very prudent move, do so asap, and don't be worried about discussing this sort of thing with him/her as they have probably seen this before in others. It sounds to me like you have a case of a desensitive penis - one which needs a lot of work to get aroused. This is probably why, when you masturbate your hard jerking action probably is sufficient to get you up, but when you are in a situaiton where this more vigorous jacking off technique is not being used (for examply your girl friend attempting to use her hand or blow you) you erection softens. Same would seem for when you have penetrated her for intercourse.

Please check with your doctor as there are probably medications or creams that can assist your penis is being more sensitive to touch and arousal. Interestly enough, I have found that many guys suffer from the opposite condition of being too sensitive and popping off long before penetration.

Hope this helps, keep me posted.

trouble staying hard
to me it's one of two things:

1) women don't turn you on or
2) maybe you are too anxious and inexperienced and need a little help.


try buying a penis ring rather than go the medicine route
